Sounds like he still generates chances but struggles to actually result in goals, which is the exact issue IMO. To me, producing at a much lower level than expected is still a bad thing for a player in the playoffs, even if the idea is that "surely he'll break out of it at some point". My fear is that maybe he can't get over the mental hurdle for whatever reason.
Whereas Bennett has overproduced for what he should be generating? I know the takeaway seems to be that he's been lucky more than anything, but it also sounds like the reputation as a player performer is accurate.
